The producers of The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans claim it to be the first box set to cover the full range of music from the Crescent City--from R&B to jazz, from zydeco to funk. Indeed, this handsome four-disc collection ranges through the decades and the neighborhoods of America's first city of music, which has both pluses and minuses. Yes, it's a joy to bask in the diversity of the New Orleans sound. From Louis Armstrong to the Meters, Little Richard to Pete Fountain, Doctors, Professors, Kings & Queens scrambles to include a little something from a whole lot of native sons and daughters among its 85 selections. Problems, however, do arise. At times the sequencing can be jarring, as when Troy Andrews's raucous take on "Ooh Poo Pah Doo" gives way to the modern blues-rock of Sonny Landreth's "South of I-10." The obscurities here are great fun, but, given the city's rich history, they skew too heavily toward more recent releases. Still, there's much to be enjoyed here, from the photo-packed 82-page booklet to the mix of classics and hidden treasures that populate the discs. Not definitive, perhaps, but definitely delightful. --Steven Stolder
Album Description
Doctors, Professors, Kings & Queens: The Big Ol' Box of New Orleans takes the music of the Big Easy and puts it in the context of that vibrant city in a way that has never been done before. The four CDs feature more than 80 hits—old and new—by such artists as Dr. John, Professor Longhair, Louis Armstrong, The Meters, Fats Domino, Buckwheat Zydeco and many others. The result is a spicy gumbo containing all of New Orleans' musical styles and flavors: jazz and blues, Cajun and Zydeco, R&B and funk. Also included is a gorgeous 84-page book that features essays and sidebars that completely explode the idea of what liner notes can be. They'll take you by the hand through the narrow streets of the Quarter, through the Garden District and up through Bayou St. John—imparting the history alongside the colorful legends, while giving an insider's-eye view of the city's great (and notorious) bars and restaurants.

New Orleans at it's best. September 15, 2008
This is a very comprehensive look at New Orleans for someone who has been there many times and wants to reminisce.
Big Easy in a Box August 24, 2008
This box of New Orleans music is the essence of the mossy City that Care Forgot. Each song reveals a particular characteristic of the city and her distinctive sound; quirky, high-spirited and strong. Wish amazon did oyster poor boys.
Really great but could be made better with very little effort October 12, 2007

This is a great collection that could be improved through a few substitutions (I would have chosen Johnny Adams' "Reconsider Me" and Irma Thomas'"I Done Gone Over It", instead of the ones The Shout Factory made) but that's nitpicking. It's a great collection, it sounds great and a wide range of New Orleans music is represented. Well done.

This is a complilation of New Orleans best at their best. I am a New Orleans native living in Colorado and this anthology made me home sick! This is a wonderful collector's item and I recommend it to everyone. Enjoy New Orleans' very own Doctor's Professors, Kings and Queens.

A great mix of new and old music from the big easy. The booklet gives a lot of information other than the music.
